Story
Isolation is tough for all of us, cooped up with your family, or perhaps on your own. Can you imagine all your family in one room with a shared kitchen? Or perhaps with no home at all. This is a reality for those that reach out to Shelter for help.
Shelter is our partner charity and they are struggling right now. Before the crisis, Shelter was only able to answer 1 in 10 calls to their Emergency Helpline. With face to face services closed, they’ve seen a sharp rise in calls and they can’t give the support they would like, aren’t getting the funding and those that need them are increasing by the day.
We want to help. We were going to do a 35km walk to raise money to help Shelter, now we can’t do it and they need the money more than ever. Instead, we plan to walk or run 5km every day across a week (respecting government advice for social distancing).
Thank you very much for your support.
